According to Lacey in her documentaries for her book "The Reason", one of the reasons she left was due to the fact she got married and had a son, and made the hard decision of stepping down from Flyleaf to devote her life to her family. Also, the last tour the band had with her, their sound manager passed away. I love Flyleaf and always will, and Lacey was truly talented and her passion for God and music will always resonate within Flyleaf.
From my understanding of the video and song, The little girl parents left her at a young age so she didn't have the nurture, care and love that she needed. She has this yearning to feel loved, so she becomes VERY promiscuous to try to find it in men, but they only wanted her for her body and leave her. She knows there is something missing in her but she can't doesn't know what it is , so she falls further and further into her dark path of lovers and she's finally had enough and took a leap of faith for Jesus and it freed her from her sorrow.
I love this! However, I always thought it was because she got married at 18 to a man that she didn't feel happy with and felt like something was missing in her marriage. Then they got a divorce when she was 21. She's mentioned it plenty in her interviews, and immediately I thought of this song! But I could be wrong of course. Still, that was a beautiful way to interpret it :)
I was looking through some comments and saw that people thought she committed suicide. This album has a TON of symbolism in it. It wasn't suicide. She didn't even die. She was swimming. The jump represents leaving captivity (the ship) and swimming in the water represents washing away her past mistakes. Like a new start, a clean slate. It's not suicide. A lot of this is actually symbolism.
It reminded me if my ex and I. Jumping off was me getting free. The people were clapping for her as she was swimming away. I never knew how many would clap as my uhaul left my ex.
A flurry of vocal emotions, backed up by Christians who love what they do and know who they're doing it for is just unbearable. This song broke my heart. Just thinking about my life without God is unfathomable. He is so good to his people, he loves us no matter what we do or where we go, or how many times we reject him. He's always there. I thank flyleaf for reminding us about how good our God is and how without him, there truly would be something missing in our lives. Thank you Flyleaf.
I went to high school with Lacey (then Mosley). She was a super cool chick. I was listening to this band when they first came out and didn’t even realize it was her until one of our mutual friends mentioned it. That was an awesome revelation. Hope you’re doin well, Lacey. ✌🏽♥️
In the beginning I realize she was talking about a mother who was never there, or rather, a mother who didn't want her. 'Tho I lifted up my hands to her, she never lifted me'
It's got clear references to a rough childhood and a little gay. She did have a girlfriend she mentioned in an interview with ... jeez I can't really remember who. Same people who covered Brian Head Welch, Fieldy, etc.
I took it to represent Jesus' mother Mary, the hands lifted as in showing praise, then, not getting any immediate effects so giving up on the faith, but yeah, also a mother figure, so, very interesting.
I'll always have a love for flyleaf - I started listening to their music a while before I became a committed Christian. I always felt an inexplicable peace whenever I listened to their music. Then it was months after I started going to church that I realised they were kingdom people too. I love that they're a metal/hard rock band that's not afraid to proclaim their love for Jesus :-)
Agreed I loved the first two albums the put out, the self titled “Flyleaf” and “Memento Mori” I lived 1. All around me 2. Again 3. Red Sam 4. Fully Alive 5. Cassie 6. Sorrow 7. Missing And uh I’m prob forgetting a few but you get the point!
No say to ur ex and if u have new boyfriend say Roses are red Violets are blue U are my ex u want me back Well thank you next Then hug ur new boyfriend
Amanda Bramel she was suicidal before flyleaf. she found God before the band flyleaf started... thats why the band flyleaf is a christian band because she found God then formed flyleaf.
I saw the queen Swam out below her star on sea beneath Though I lifted up my hands to her She never lifted me Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Found something sweet On the island with the daughters of eve But through thick and thin they've gone away And only left their grief Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me Something's missing in me Down here, love wasn't meant to be It wasn't meant to be for me Down here, love wasn't meant to be It wasn't meant to be for me (all is vanity, underneath the sun, all is vanity) Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me
It's about God, guys! Without Him there will always be something missing. The flesh is never satisfied. Let Him fill your spirit! For those commenting on the end, it's about her putting her old, sinful life behind her and letting the Lord take her life and make it new.
The song can be intepreted how you wish, but it doesn't change the intent of the band's purpose behind it. Enjoy it either way, but Flyleaf intended it to be a Christ-like message.
This song holds near and dear to my heart because when I was going through a tough time it felt like a part of me was missing. I had my friends and a Christian bible that a friend let me borrow. Then when I understood that everything was going to be alright I felt freed from my pain and felt born again.
God is good it’s amazing the freedom warmth joy and love that comes from being in Christ. We go out in the world to find it but it’s truly found when you have him. Without him everytying else is meaningless
If many thought of God as creator. Scientist, artist, musician well, pretty much everything. In the Bible it mentions that sorcery is condemmed. Sorcery is the use of black mirrors to summon demons and look up the past. Back in the days sorcery would be considered putting spells on many by means of deception. Words and looks is deception. Today, it's called psycology. It's used in music, acting, advertising well, pretty much everything. Many choose to follow the wrong things instead of follow the right things and by doing so become a money maker for many corupt entities who have pocketed much and conducted illegal activities on the taxpayers dime. At least with Lacy's music she is making money but, the difference is she is not misleading anyone. Unfortunately, many follow like sheep straight to the slaughter house. The whole entire time you all could have been well off with benefits, financially secured for many generations if done right, been better educated and persued your dreams and passions in life. Instead, many are slaves to corperations who comply with corperate rules and the same ones making the rules are the same ones breaking the rules. Many still have not learned much since day one. Life was created to be simple but, many enjoy making it complicated . There are many betrayers and deceivers who betrayed and deceived for a little greed and the whole entire time you all could have had so, much more. Still don't listen, still don't heed warnings, still play the blame game, many want to commit crimes but, don't want to take responsibility for actions. Many chances have been given and still given a chance. You watch movies about the end of the world and all corperations being destroyed. Instead of destroying the corperations you can actually use the corperations. There is a peaceful and legal way of doing things. Don't even need a corupt lawyer or a corupt judge who are government employees who have committed many acts of treason, crimes against humanity and many felonies on the taxpayers dime. This is what happens when you have secret societies of both men and women run the show. If a few would have listened, heeded warnings, taken responsibility, not played the blame game, listened to others in the past and listened to Jesus well, everything you see here today would have been quite different and you all could have had so much more. With great knowledge comes great responsibility. Many have been given knowledge to only end up abusing it in the name of greed. It's not used to harm others and there are always consequences. Jesus has been the only one to past all the tests.
So I love this song but I'm just now realizing (pretty sure) this song is about her "overcoming" her homosexuality, something she's openly talked about. "I saw the queen, Swam out below her star on sea beneath, Though I lifted up my hands to her, She never lifted me" "Found something sweet, On the island with the Daughters of Eve, But through thick and thin they've gone away, And only left their grief" The strict use of female figures and the pretty provocative reference to Eve and her "daughters" on an island providing something "sweet" seems to be talking about the pleasures and sexual satisfaction she experienced with female lovers, but never feeling fulfilled or stable in these relationships by saying "she never lifted me", the last half of the second verse, and of course the chorus: "Oh, something's missing in me, I felt it deep within me, As lovers left me to bleed alone" She probably felt let down, betrayed, or abandoned in her relationships that happened to be with girls, but attributed that pain from these specific relationships as meaning something is just inherently wrong with lesbianism at the root level hence "somethings missing in me, I felt it deep within me" because ones sexuality is very definite, you feel it deeply, and if you begin to think somethings wrong about it then you internalize it. Maybe to her, what was "missing" was a relationship with god, a christian life, which means women are to be with men, and this was all meant to be in place of her gay lifestyle and sexuality. Idk it makes me sad that she struggled this way and came to the ultimate conclusion she did, but if shes truly happy...
oh and further more, in the video it shows captions of "she falls" "she falls further still" maybe insinuating that she was falling deeper into "sin" and the depression she felt as a result from such. And then at the end it's her seeming to jump from the boat to take her own life with the captions "her path becomes clear" "she frees herself" but she doesn't die, she happily swims in the waters. In her real life she had contemplated suicide, in the midst of these thoughts she visited a church where someone spoke gospel or scripture to her and she "took a leap of faith" as she has put it and committed herself to her new faith and that that is what saved her life. Maybe she was depressed and suicidal from her internalized struggle with her sexuality based on all the failed and unpleasant experiences with other girls, and her "path" became Christianity and to "free herself" was to abandon her gay lifestyle. In that way her suicidal thoughts were a "blessing in disguise" as some would say because it was what lead her to her "rebirth" as she thinks of it, hence the jump off the boat turning from a depiction of suicide to a happy and wholesome ending.
This woman gives hope to struggling christians! I am so glad to see christian based groups expanding their musical expectations! I wish they were around when I went to church! Beautiful woman!
HOW A BAND SO INCREBILE EXSIT!? REALLY... I'm very grateful for this band! I met this band in 2007 and since then, I'm very blessed hearing all songs Doesn't matter who sing, if Lacey or Kristen, GOD ever stay with Flyleaf I love this band and I arrived close God because this band, God used this band for call me
somethings missing in me.... my sister was murdered and it gets hard to listen to flyleaf I remember just hanging with her and jamming out. I'm black , Hispanic, and native American. my sister never judged me because I like this type of music. God I miss her so much.
I'm so sorry to hear that, I can't imagine how traumatic that was and how hard it is to keep going. Requescat in Pace to your sister, she's with the Lord and always by your side
I hope you have healed and continue to heal, my best wishes . ❤️ On another random note. I actually believe that black Americans are actually native Americans. Hispanics are a mix of black, mongoloids who crossed the bering straight, Spanish, and also the other light and dark skinned people living in the Americas. There wasn't just one type of Native American like they told us. There were blacks, Asians(look at the Alaskans), people who looked like the natives we see today except they were darker with a purer blood line. Also a lot of the tribes were already mixed before colonialism. Google Aboriginal Hawaiian. They were dark af with fros. They look more like Asian aboriginals than a half Asian/half black people. Just because their hair is so tightly coiled. Mixed people usually have a larger curl pattern. But most modern day Hawaiians have a lot more light skinned ancestry now. Sorry I find genetics and ancestry FASCINATING. And I think it is actually more important than people understand.
I just dont know how to describe it Lacey has the voice of an angel. Ive been listening to this stuff for 2 decades and the feeling i get from her is just like an out of body experience. Words can hardly describe it she is an angel sent from heaven to sing to all of us
The new singer of flyleaf... honestly will never touch my heart like lacy. Lacy knows real hurt, and I actually gave up drugs to be a faithful flyleaf listener. Thank you Lacy for all of you hard work and years of singing. YOU will be severally missed by all!
I LOVE Flyleaf, when Memento Mori came out I was afraid it wasn't going to be as good as the first album (which is also very good) but I freaking love Memento Mori even more than their previous cd. Such good music!
the first time I heard flyleaf was on a music video channel the song was so sick after that went to best buy found the bands CD and have been a HUGE fan from then on her voice puts me in a place light 🕯️ that no other band has done my mind feels at peace when I listen to them .
Im really sad. I NEVER heard of this song until YESTERDAY at a pool hall! I asked the manager what song is playing and he said flyleaf "missing" . I was like WOW I've been listening to her for over a decade and NEVER of this song! I KNEW it was her cuz NO ONE HAS LACEY'S VOICE AND STYLE! But wow ive missed this song in my years😩😩😩😭😭😭😭
Missing: I saw the queen Swam out below her star on sea beneath Though I lifted up my hands to her She never lifted me Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Found something sweet On the island with the Daughters of Eve But through thick and thin they've gone away And only left their grief Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me Something's missing in me Down here, love wasn't meant to be It wasn't meant to be for me Down here, love wasn't meant to be (All is vanity underneath the sun) It wasn't meant to be (All is vanity) Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me Something's missing in me Something's missing in me Something's missing in me
Wow Lacey Sturm voice have a angel within and her huge dress is making her a gothic princess of christian rock music. Lyrics: I saw the queen Swam out below her star on sea beneath Though I lifted up my hands to her She never lifted me Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Found something sweet On the island with the daughter of eve But through thick and thin they've gone away And only left their grief Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me (x2) Down here, love wasn't meant to be It wasn't meant to be for me Down here, love wasn't meant to be It wasn't meant to be for me (all is vanity, beneath the sun, all is vanity) Oh, something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me (x4)
I listened to you all a lot, coming back from combat deployments. Your music meant a lot to me. Sorry to listen again after all these years some unresolved hurt? Hope the best for you.
I saw the queen Swam out below her star on sea beneath Though I lifted up my hands to her She never lifted me Oh something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Found something sweet On the island with daughters of Eve But through thick and thin They've gone away and only left their grief Oh something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me (Something missing in me) Down here love wasn't meant to be It wasn't meant to be for me All is vanity underneath the sun All is vanity Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me I felt it deep within me As lovers left me to bleed alone Something's missing in me Something's missing in me
I've read that Lacey is gay but has suppressed it a lot with her faith. That could just be a false rumor, but the first time hearing this song, the lyrics really seem to paint a picture of a girl who's been heartbroken by a lot of women, and coupled with the teachings of her religion making her struggle with and feel ashamed of her sexuality, it tells a tragic story of succumbing to that pressure and choosing to find love in God and renouncing her true self. As a gay person it really is obvious to me. "I lifted my hands to her, she never lifted me."..."Found something sweet...with the daughters of eve". That just seems to detail her time dating women and getting heartbroken by them and also feeling ashamed of herself. Anyway, it's a beautiful and very bittersweet song especially when you view it that way.
@@mf8080 I'm completely convinced that she was never gay and was just experimenting at the time cause there's no way a person can just stop being gay it's your sexuality it's apart of you like your skin/hair/eye color
Lacey looked absolutely stunning in the shots when shes on the couch singing to the camera. She was always pretty, but she was at her most gorgeous here, I think.
This song and video has resonated with me since I was a child. I feel when she wears white, she’s telling the story of how she was missing, but when she’s in black, she freed herself and took a leap of faith and found what she was missing. Absolutely stunning!
So, I thought the new singer had a great voice, which she does. But the original, wow! I can see why so many are devoted. What an angelic voice, truly.
well once again tonight update it's 2023 im a fan for life no matter what solo stuff, a reunited Flyleaf even if it it's temporary or going to be a brand new praying for new music hopefully. 🤘👊🤘
So back when it came out, I slept on this album. And for good reason, it still doesnt hold up well compared to S/T + NH. But this song.... Bruh this song. Since finding this the other day, its been on repeat daily. The sound of her voice and the melody of the chorus... Its like a soothing hug to my soul. Its so catchy, and so magical. I think I could listen to that vocal line every day for the rest of my life. Lacey could move mountains with her voice, sheeesh!
Amazing Flyleaf song, as usual, but this is one of the best music videos I've seen in a LONG time! It's art in itself, accented wonderfully by Flyleaf's music and Lacey's amazing emotions :)
Christian band or not .. this tune is so gorgeous and rocking and amazing! The sound of Lacey on top of that low crunch and guitar melodies and the rest of the band rockin is just to die for! That's what drew me in. I hope one day Lacey returns to Flyleaf. Love this band!
It reminded me if my ex and I. Jumping off was me getting free. The people were clapping for her as she was swimming away. I never knew how many would clap as my uhaul left my ex.❤🎉
As much as I love Lacey, I am willing to give Kristen a chance. I feel like she has potential. You have to look at it with open eyes, guys. It's different when a lead singer quits a band, versus if a guitar player or another member leaves. She had to be replaced to keep Flyleaf a band.
+Bree Miller Yes, that's exactly the thing. That's sad for Kristen because she has an great voice too, but... she doesn't give me goosebumps as Lacey did (and still does). "Something's missing", indeed.
They've been my favorite band ever since the first time I heard their music. They've helped me through very difficult times and seriously saved my life. I cried when I found out Lacey was leaving. The new chick has some pretty big shoes to fill.. I guess we'll see how she does :/
I've listened to her since posting that and I kind of agree with you. I think she has a strong singing voice, I just think she was a bad choice for flyleaf. She seems to have a higher and more girly tone than Lacey.. it just doesn't fit with their music..
like it. they are not over playing the metal thing. and using alot of original material. ITS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR FROM ALL OF THE WOMAN WHO IN METAL, WHO JUST CANT PULL IT OFF, who just scream or sing like little girls. ps. LOVE ARCH ENEMY .
According to Lacey in her documentaries for her book "The Reason", one of the reasons she left was due to the fact she got married and had a son, and made the hard decision of stepping down from Flyleaf to devote her life to her family. Also, the last tour the band had with her, their sound manager passed away. I love Flyleaf and always will, and Lacey was truly talented and her passion for God and music will always resonate within Flyleaf.
adrix3ana yep that's why I seen it to😥
Guess she found what she was 'missing'.
dunno if u know this or not but shes back as a musician. shes solo. she released an album called life screams
And when she tours, she still sings some Flyleaf songs along with the new songs :))))
Her passion for God? People really still believe in this imaginary friend for adults, grow up.
From my understanding of the video and song, The little girl parents left her at a young age so she didn't have the nurture, care and love that she needed. She has this yearning to feel loved, so she becomes VERY promiscuous to try to find it in men, but they only wanted her for her body and leave her. She knows there is something missing in her but she can't doesn't know what it is , so she falls further and further into her dark path of lovers and she's finally had enough and took a leap of faith for Jesus and it freed her from her sorrow.
I think this has more to do with following the wrong ideologies, expecting to find the love of God in the wrong places.
You are a genius.
I love this! However, I always thought it was because she got married at 18 to a man that she didn't feel happy with and felt like something was missing in her marriage. Then they got a divorce when she was 21. She's mentioned it plenty in her interviews, and immediately I thought of this song! But I could be wrong of course. Still, that was a beautiful way to interpret it :)
And married to Joshua Sturm and have three beautiful children ❤️
Tots!
That deep heavy guitar with her high vocals over top in the chorus is such a perfect combination
Indeed
that's the bango
Ok
You are speaking facts
Lp

am glad am not that smart to think that far and just enjoy the song xD
"Something's missing in me, I felt it deep within me, as lovers left me to bleed alone!" Hits hard and deep as you grow up and get older.
We all have something missing in us, and only God fixes that because He is everlasting. I find our relationship with Christ quite amazing
Amen!
Yesss
A flurry of vocal emotions, backed up by Christians who love what they do and know who they're doing it for is just unbearable. This song broke my heart. Just thinking about my life without God is unfathomable. He is so good to his people, he loves us no matter what we do or where we go, or how many times we reject him. He's always there. I thank flyleaf for reminding us about how good our God is and how without him, there truly would be something missing in our lives. Thank you Flyleaf.
Praise Jesus!
Stand strong in HIM💛✝️
god is good to his people…..that’s why he allows them to suffer every day as much as they do.

@@xdandychiggins I concur.

ADR3-N she’s Christian maybe she was speaking about before she was?
@@whatupguy5685 I never knew my father, never met him, don't know if he has another family, nor know his name.

Her voice is so angelic. Takes you to another place.
She is from another place.... 😇
u all can still turn to Christ if u have not God bless
this era was the best moment of the band 🤍
Agreed I loved the first two albums the put out, the self titled “Flyleaf” and “Memento Mori” I lived
1. All around me
2. Again
3. Red Sam
4. Fully Alive
5. Cassie
6. Sorrow
7. Missing
And uh I’m prob forgetting a few but you get the point!
"Somethings missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone"
FLYLEAF♡
I was the missing part and i still am u just gotta let me in your heart babe ♡♥
Somethings missing in me, I felt a dick within me
xComiiT I heard it like this, but thought Lacey wouldn't sing something like this.
No say to ur ex and if u have new boyfriend say
Roses are red
Violets are blue
U are my ex u want me back
Well thank you next
Then hug ur new boyfriend
Umm okay
As much as I want Lacey back, she can't come back simply because she has a family to raise now. She has kids. She left to raise her children.
But she's going solo???? What's the difference?
ok it a lot of people who have family and kids to raise but they still do their bands and she is doing solo too you should research it
***** Hmm...thank you. This gives me a bit to think about..Gospel??
Actually, she left Flyleaf for other reasons. She was suicidal and she found God and realized that she couldn't go back to the life she was living.
Amanda Bramel she was suicidal before flyleaf. she found God before the band flyleaf started... thats why the band flyleaf is a christian band because she found God then formed flyleaf.
I saw the queen
Swam out below her star on sea beneath
Though I lifted up my hands to her
She never lifted me
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Found something sweet
On the island with the daughters of eve
But through thick and thin they've gone away
And only left their grief
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
Down here, love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
Down here, love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
(all is vanity, underneath the sun, all is vanity)
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I love this song. I love the deep meaning behind this song and I adore the vintage clothing in this video.
Same
love this song-without Jesus inside us, we are empty, still listening to this in 2015!:)
Still listening in 2024
Yessir
Here we are
It's about God, guys! Without Him there will always be something missing. The flesh is never satisfied. Let Him fill your spirit! For those commenting on the end, it's about her putting her old, sinful life behind her and letting the Lord take her life and make it new.
Yep. How true!! :)
To you maybe.
this song, like most by flyleaf (with exceptions of course) can be taken both ways, secular and christian, that's why I love them so much
Nailed it.
The song can be intepreted how you wish, but it doesn't change the intent of the band's purpose behind it. Enjoy it either way, but Flyleaf intended it to be a Christ-like message.
This song holds near and dear to my heart because when I was going through a tough time it felt like a part of me was missing. I had my friends and a Christian bible that a friend let me borrow.

@@WoahSoSathis is so true
The vibes of this mv are still IMMACULATE 11 years later. Always one of my favorite Flyleaf songs and videos 💖
flyleaf's music videos have such a striking aesthetic it's insane
2023 listening this classic 😢
Mad Marvelous misadventures of Flapjack vibes.
Sir Radical yeeeeeeeees
This is probably my favorite song by them. The emotion and beauty of the vocals with music. It's simple but man it's serene melancholy all at once.
I miss this song and I’m still in love with that dress with the full black tulle skirt 😭
If you want to hook someone on flyleaf, this is the song to choose imo
i love lacey's voice so much it's just so powerful and stuff
If many thought of God as creator. Scientist, artist, musician well, pretty much everything. In the Bible it mentions that sorcery is condemmed. Sorcery is the use of black mirrors to summon demons and look up the past. Back in the days sorcery would be considered putting spells on many by means of deception. Words and looks is deception. Today, it's called psycology. It's used in music, acting, advertising well, pretty much everything. Many choose to follow the wrong things instead of follow the right things and by doing so become a money maker for many corupt entities who have pocketed much and conducted illegal activities on the taxpayers dime. At least with Lacy's music she is making money but, the difference is she is not misleading anyone. Unfortunately, many follow like sheep straight to the slaughter house. The whole entire time you all could have been well off with benefits, financially secured for many generations if done right, been better educated and persued your dreams and passions in life. Instead, many are slaves to corperations who comply with corperate rules and the same ones making the rules are the same ones breaking the rules. Many still have not learned much since day one. Life was created to be simple but, many enjoy making it complicated . There are many betrayers and deceivers who betrayed and deceived for a little greed and the whole entire time you all could have had so, much more. Still don't listen, still don't heed warnings, still play the blame game, many want to commit crimes but, don't want to take responsibility for actions. Many chances have been given and still given a chance. You watch movies about the end of the world and all corperations being destroyed. Instead of destroying the corperations you can actually use the corperations. There is a peaceful and legal way of doing things. Don't even need a corupt lawyer or a corupt judge who are government employees who have committed many acts of treason, crimes against humanity and many felonies on the taxpayers dime. This is what happens when you have secret societies of both men and women run the show. If a few would have listened, heeded warnings, taken responsibility, not played the blame game, listened to others in the past and listened to Jesus well, everything you see here today would have been quite different and you all could have had so much more. With great knowledge comes great responsibility. Many have been given knowledge to only end up abusing it in the name of greed. It's not used to harm others and there are always consequences. Jesus has been the only one to past all the tests.

The chorus just hits the center of one's heart. Why do I contradict myself at times? Save me from myself, God Almighty. Thy will be done, not mine!
So I love this song but I'm just now realizing (pretty sure) this song is about her "overcoming" her homosexuality, something she's openly talked about.
"I saw the queen, Swam out below her star on sea beneath, Though I lifted up my hands to her, She never lifted me"
"Found something sweet, On the island with the Daughters of Eve, But through thick and thin they've gone away, And only left their grief"
The strict use of female figures and the pretty provocative reference to Eve and her "daughters" on an island providing something "sweet" seems to be talking about the pleasures and sexual satisfaction she experienced with female lovers, but never feeling fulfilled or stable in these relationships by saying "she never lifted me", the last half of the second verse, and of course the chorus:
"Oh, something's missing in me, I felt it deep within me, As lovers left me to bleed alone"
She probably felt let down, betrayed, or abandoned in her relationships that happened to be with girls, but attributed that pain from these specific relationships as meaning something is just inherently wrong with lesbianism at the root level hence "somethings missing in me, I felt it deep within me" because ones sexuality is very definite, you feel it deeply, and if you begin to think somethings wrong about it then you internalize it. Maybe to her, what was "missing" was a relationship with god, a christian life, which means women are to be with men, and this was all meant to be in place of her gay lifestyle and sexuality.
Idk it makes me sad that she struggled this way and came to the ultimate conclusion she did, but if shes truly happy...
oh and further more, in the video it shows captions of "she falls" "she falls further still" maybe insinuating that she was falling deeper into "sin" and the depression she felt as a result from such. And then at the end it's her seeming to jump from the boat to take her own life with the captions "her path becomes clear" "she frees herself" but she doesn't die, she happily swims in the waters. In her real life she had contemplated suicide, in the midst of these thoughts she visited a church where someone spoke gospel or scripture to her and she "took a leap of faith" as she has put it and committed herself to her new faith and that that is what saved her life. Maybe she was depressed and suicidal from her internalized struggle with her sexuality based on all the failed and unpleasant experiences with other girls, and her "path" became Christianity and to "free herself" was to abandon her gay lifestyle. In that way her suicidal thoughts were a "blessing in disguise" as some would say because it was what lead her to her "rebirth" as she thinks of it, hence the jump off the boat turning from a depiction of suicide to a happy and wholesome ending.
Everytime I watch this video i get the most insane goosebumps
Kyle Schneid That's weird...... Do you know why?
***** what is it?
Than you for watching me
+Eric Northman #Deadpool ftw! cx
***** umm.. What exactly are you trying to say? That my name is mysterious & you like it? Lol!
Still one of their best songs ever released! Still listening in 2022!
Praise Jesus💛
He loves you. Surrender
So am I too! Praise God for Lacey, the band and the work they've put into these songs to glorify God.💙
This woman gives hope to struggling christians! I am so glad to see christian based groups expanding their musical expectations! I wish they were around when I went to church! Beautiful woman!
She is hands down, in my Tøp 5 Favorite Vocalists_
Same bro
This song touches a spot deep inside of me.... There is definitely something missing...
Her voice is so unique
I forgot how gorgeous Lacey is.
Amazing. Instant love.
HOW A BAND SO INCREBILE EXSIT!? REALLY... I'm very grateful for this band!
I met this band in 2007 and since then, I'm very blessed hearing all songs
Doesn't matter who sing, if Lacey or Kristen, GOD ever stay with Flyleaf
I love this band and I arrived close God because this band, God used this band for call me
9 Years later and I'm still listening to this. This will never be missing from my memory.
Man, that's the best Flyleaf era
i have fallen in love with Lacey's voice :) she always has such unique and pretty dresses. love this band!!
somethings missing in me.... my sister was murdered and it gets hard to listen to flyleaf I remember just hanging with her and jamming out. I'm black , Hispanic, and native American. my sister never judged me because I like this type of music. God I miss her so much.
I'm so sorry to hear that, I can't imagine how traumatic that was and how hard it is to keep going. Requescat in Pace to your sister, she's with the Lord and always by your side
I am so sorry for your loss,, she will always be with you and acting as your guardian angel...
I hope you have healed and continue to heal, my best wishes . ❤️ On another random note. I actually believe that black Americans are actually native Americans. Hispanics are a mix of black, mongoloids who crossed the bering straight, Spanish, and also the other light and dark skinned people living in the Americas. There wasn't just one type of Native American like they told us. There were blacks, Asians(look at the Alaskans), people who looked like the natives we see today except they were darker with a purer blood line. Also a lot of the tribes were already mixed before colonialism. Google Aboriginal Hawaiian. They were dark af with fros. They look more like Asian aboriginals than a half Asian/half black people. Just because their hair is so tightly coiled. Mixed people usually have a larger curl pattern. But most modern day Hawaiians have a lot more light skinned ancestry now. Sorry I find genetics and ancestry FASCINATING. And I think it is actually more important than people understand.
I know her pain. That missing something was Jesus all along. Lord bless you my sister.
Her message in her music is clear- she is imperfect. However, It doesn't matter because of who her saviour is.
Also, She is so beautiful.
Their taste is addictive and I'm addicted it so fucking bad.
I just dont know how to describe it Lacey has the voice of an angel. Ive been listening to this stuff for 2 decades and the feeling i get from her is just like an out of body experience. Words can hardly describe it she is an angel sent from heaven to sing to all of us
The new singer of flyleaf... honestly will never touch my heart like lacy. Lacy knows real hurt, and I actually gave up drugs to be a faithful flyleaf listener. Thank you Lacy for all of you hard work and years of singing. YOU will be severally missed by all!
I LOVE Flyleaf, when Memento Mori came out I was afraid it wasn't going to be as good as the first album (which is also very good) but I freaking love Memento Mori even more than their previous cd. Such good music!
the first time I heard flyleaf was on a music video channel the song was so sick after that went to best buy found the bands CD and have been a HUGE fan from then on her voice puts me in a place light 🕯️ that no other band has done my mind feels at peace when I listen to them .
I think this is one of the videos she looks the most beautiful in ❤️
2024 anyone???
Yes and it's criminal this video is not in HD!
❤❤❤❤❤
@@jawaadkaleem honestly
One of my favourite songs 😁
Here in 2035
All Flyleaf videos and songs are so perfect and have a deep meaning... I love it.
How could anyone Dislike this.... this is real music.... just Pure Emotion and Talent
Jesus Christ loves you so much
Thank you
Yessss!
Im really sad. I NEVER heard of this song until YESTERDAY at a pool hall! I asked the manager what song is playing and he said flyleaf "missing" . I was like WOW I've been listening to her for over a decade and NEVER of this song! I KNEW it was her cuz NO ONE HAS LACEY'S VOICE AND STYLE! But wow ive missed this song in my years😩😩😩😭😭😭😭
One of my favorite songs, I really miss this band :/
Lacey is now a solo artist! She has some great solo music out now. 😊😊
Missing:
I saw the queen
Swam out below her star on sea beneath
Though I lifted up my hands to her
She never lifted me
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Found something sweet
On the island with the Daughters of Eve
But through thick and thin they've gone away
And only left their grief
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
Down here, love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
Down here, love wasn't meant to be (All is vanity underneath the sun)
It wasn't meant to be (All is vanity)
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
2022 and still loving this song. holds a lot of memories and nostalgia
LA INFINITA NOSTALGIA QUE ME PRODUCE ESTE DISCO....Y EL VIAJE EN EL TIEMPO QUE REALIZO MENTALMENTE, ES LO Q NECESITO CADA DIA PARA SEGUIR CUERDO :')
Wow Lacey Sturm voice have a angel within and her huge dress is making her a gothic princess of christian rock music.
Lyrics:
I saw the queen
Swam out below her star on sea beneath
Though I lifted up my hands to her
She never lifted me
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Found something sweet
On the island with the daughter of eve
But through thick and thin they've gone away
And only left their grief
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me (x2)
Down here, love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
Down here, love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
(all is vanity, beneath the sun, all is vanity)
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me (x4)
I love how everyone loves these songs about God :D so awesome
Love the old fashioned instruments! Especially the upright bass.
She's absolutely gorgeous
I listened to you all a lot, coming back from combat deployments. Your music meant a lot to me. Sorry to listen again after all these years some unresolved hurt? Hope the best for you.
I saw the queen
Swam out below her star on sea beneath
Though I lifted up my hands to her
She never lifted me
Oh something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Found something sweet
On the island with daughters of Eve
But through thick and thin
They've gone away and only left their grief
Oh something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
(Something missing in me)
Down here love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
All is vanity underneath the sun
All is vanity
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
LACEY IS BAE
BAE!!!

o0julek0o LMFAO...
yess danny brown come thru
My favourite Flyleaf song!!
I've read that Lacey is gay but has suppressed it a lot with her faith. That could just be a false rumor, but the first time hearing this song, the lyrics really seem to paint a picture of a girl who's been heartbroken by a lot of women, and coupled with the teachings of her religion making her struggle with and feel ashamed of her sexuality, it tells a tragic story of succumbing to that pressure and choosing to find love in God and renouncing her true self. As a gay person it really is obvious to me. "I lifted my hands to her, she never lifted me."..."Found something sweet...with the daughters of eve". That just seems to detail her time dating women and getting heartbroken by them and also feeling ashamed of herself. Anyway, it's a beautiful and very bittersweet song especially when you view it that way.
She is literally married with a kid what?
Did you read her book, "The Reason"?
I think you'll find it very interesting.
It's true, she dated a girl in high school then broke up with her because she was told that 'this road would lead her away from God'
@@mf8080 I'm completely convinced that she was never gay and was just experimenting at the time cause there's no way a person can just stop being gay it's your sexuality it's apart of you like your skin/hair/eye color
Dude, this song never gets old.
I don’t know what it is about this song that makes it have this melancholy but sweet nostalgic vibe... but I love it
Lacey has such a pretty voice she needs to come back to Flyleaf
it probably won't happen.
r93 you crushed my dreams
+PAKE JITTS shes a mom and made the choice to do music on her own time to be with her family...i applaud her for that
+PAKE JITTS she made more music under Lacey sturm
BVB ARMY!! and omg yas your so right
This album is ethereal.
Who remembers Falling up band? Those guys are great! Gonna watch them right now!
Something's missing in Flyleaf :(
Nooooo! right in the feels
Lacey looked absolutely stunning in the shots when shes on the couch singing to the camera. She was always pretty, but she was at her most gorgeous here, I think.
This song and video has resonated with me since I was a child. I feel when she wears white, she’s telling the story of how she was missing, but when she’s in black, she freed herself and took a leap of faith and found what she was missing. Absolutely stunning!
I love how it has an old times look and feel to it! To me it wraps the whole song up! I just love Flyleaf!
So, I thought the new singer had a great voice, which she does. But the original, wow! I can see why so many are devoted. What an angelic voice, truly.
well once again tonight update it's 2023 im a fan for life no matter what solo stuff, a reunited Flyleaf even if it it's temporary or going to be a brand new praying for new music hopefully. 🤘👊🤘
So back when it came out, I slept on this album. And for good reason, it still doesnt hold up well compared to S/T + NH. But this song.... Bruh this song. Since finding this the other day, its been on repeat daily. The sound of her voice and the melody of the chorus... Its like a soothing hug to my soul. Its so catchy, and so magical. I think I could listen to that vocal line every day for the rest of my life. Lacey could move mountains with her voice, sheeesh!
I will never get over that voice♥
lacey, a true angel
her books are a sort of personal bible i use for reference and life motivation
God bless ❤
somethings missing within in flyleaf!
come back to us lacey!
This reminds of my wife... and she will never be replaced..... see u soon
Amazing Flyleaf song, as usual, but this is one of the best music videos I've seen in a LONG time! It's art in itself, accented wonderfully by Flyleaf's music and Lacey's amazing emotions :)
That's not Lacey:( it's Kristen
Christian band or not .. this tune is so gorgeous and rocking and amazing! The sound of Lacey on top of that low crunch and guitar melodies and the rest of the band rockin is just to die for! That's what drew me in. I hope one day Lacey returns to Flyleaf. Love this band!
she might be my favorite singer.
I love how poetic they are in their songs!
Welcome back rock music. Something must be missing in me cause this is all I listen to.
Here we are in 2022 and I’m only learning now….more about Flyleaf and Stacey. Great music, great personalities….
Somethings missing in Flyleaf... Its Lacey...
It reminded me if my ex and I. Jumping off was me getting free. The people were clapping for her as she was swimming away. I never knew how many would clap as my uhaul left my ex.❤🎉
you are correct about not needing other people to love you, just live your life and it will come to you
Buena música que tiempos aquellos se te extraña Lacey..😎🖤🔥🎵🎶🇵🇪🤘🏻
I love this band and what a excellent timeless song thanks for sharing
I'll tell you what's missing in me. The joy of listening to Lacey sing in Flyleaf. :c WHHYYYY MUST SHE GOOOOOO!!!
As much as I love Lacey, I am willing to give Kristen a chance. I feel like she has potential. You have to look at it with open eyes, guys. It's different when a lead singer quits a band, versus if a guitar player or another member leaves. She had to be replaced to keep Flyleaf a band.
+Bree Miller Yes, that's exactly the thing. That's sad for Kristen because she has an great voice too, but... she doesn't give me goosebumps as Lacey did (and still does). "Something's missing", indeed.
Will you give me a chance?? IG me maybe??
2yrs ago...hmm
They've been my favorite band ever since the first time I heard their music. They've helped me through very difficult times and seriously saved my life. I cried when I found out Lacey was leaving. The new chick has some pretty big shoes to fill.. I guess we'll see how she does :/
i think the new chick is awful
I've listened to her since posting that and I kind of agree with you. I think she has a strong singing voice, I just think she was a bad choice for flyleaf. She seems to have a higher and more girly tone than Lacey.. it just doesn't fit with their music..
It hurts my stomach how much I love her voice😭😭
like it. they are not over playing the metal thing. and using alot of original material. ITS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR FROM ALL OF THE WOMAN WHO IN METAL, WHO JUST CANT PULL IT OFF, who just scream or sing like little girls. ps. LOVE ARCH ENEMY .
